Pandora is super cool and has awesome nickname potential; I doubt its rare usage has much to do with bad associations with the myth, though, since Eve is representative of more or less the same thing and it sees plenty of use. It's altogether rather overpowering, though, definitely too over-the-top to be mainstream "usable". Someone daring could probably pull it off, and someone not-so-daring could easily go exclusively by the much more unassuming "Dora," but...I don't know. I wouldn't use it for real, but I would definitely choose to use it given the choice between it and Delilah. And I honestly don't think Delilah is an ugly awful terrible name or anything, it's just kind of vaguely pretty but sort of lacking in personality to me. I do, however, think that Delilah would probably be considered maybe a little offbeat but definitely mainstream usable, unlike Pandora, so I guess there's that.
